mm/mempool: replace kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page()
kmap_atomic() has been deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page(). Therefore, replace kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page(). kmap_atomic() is implemented like a kmap_local_page() which also disables page-faults and preemption (the latter only in !PREEMPT_RT kernels). The kernel virtual addresses returned by these two API are only valid in the context of the callers (i.e., they cannot be handed to other threads). With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread and CPU local like in kmap_atomic(); however, they can handle page-faults and can be called from any context (including interrupts). The tasks that call kmap_local_page() can be preempted and, when they are scheduled to run again, the kernel virtual addresses are restored and are still valid. The code blocks between the mappings and un-mappings don't rely on the above-mentioned side effects of kmap_atomic(), so that mere replacements of the old API with the new one is all that they require (i.e., there is no need to explicitly call pagefault_disable() and/or preempt_disable()).
